"FLYING IS SO EASY."

"FLYING IS SO EASY."

"There are many firms of manufacturers how turning out machines to order. You can now buy a monoplane' with engine complete for £450, and bi-planes from £900 to £1000. I am going to take orders for them in New Zealand, having made a.-rangements with a flim to supply on order. Flyiugmachines are now being advertised and sold' like motor-cars were ten years ago. The great thing in connection with flying is that it is so easy. Anyone can fly who understands the engine of a motor-car after a couple of lessons in the management of the planes. Lots of women are now included among those who have taken up the i port, and once taken up no one drops it, such is its fascination." "I did not get a fly myself, though at Wolverhampton I was next on the list to go up with Graham White. Unfortunately it came on very blustery, arid the 'last trip—he had already taken up three passengers—had to be abandoned. While at Home 1 came in personal contacts on many occasions with Mr H. Harper, the London journalist, who does nothing else but write on aviation for the "Daily Mail," and as he has a thorough knowledge of the business, his articles are read with the greatest interest by all interested in the mestery of the air."
